The difference between meditation and contemplation.
What is
meditation and contemplation are two distinct forms of prayer that involve different levels of engagement and receptivity. Meditation typically involves active mental effort, as the person focuses on a particular Scripture passage, spiritual theme, or image. This form of prayer is often associated with the use of a prayer book or a set of written meditations, and may involve structured techniques like repetition or reflection.
Contemplation, on the other hand, is a deeper form of prayer that involves a surrender of the mind and heart to God's presence and action. This form of prayer is less structured and more intuitive, as the person opens themselves to the Holy Spirit's guidance and illumination. Some key practices associated with contemplative prayer include silence, stillness, and detachment from distracting thoughts or emotions.
In terms of the differences between the two forms of prayer, meditation is often seen as a preparatory or "active" form of prayer that can lead to contemplation, while contemplation is seen as a more advanced and "passive" form of prayer that requires a deeper level of trust and surrender. Additionally, while meditation can be helpful in developing spiritual insight and self-awareness, contemplation is seen as a transformative encounter with God that can lead to greater union with him.
